Due to the escalating costs of this trip (and everything else) we've basically decided this is a one-and-done trip to Disney, at least for the foreseeable future so we want to do as much as we can in two weeks. Here's our plan - not sure there's anything missing, but interested in feedback!
19 August 2022 MK - closes at 6 for NSS so try and get an evening ADR somewhere.
20 August 2022 Pool AM / Disney Springs + Drawn To Life PM
21 August 2022 Animal Kingdom Sun
22 August 2022 Hollywood Studios Mon
23 August 2022 Typhoon Lagoon AM (Epcot PM, stack in the AM) Tue
24 August 2022 MK stay for fireworks
25 August 2022 EPCOT - stay for Harmonious
26 August 2022 Magic Kingdom + Not So Scary
27 August 2022 Pool AM (stack for PM) / HS PM+ H20 Glow Eve
28 August 2022 Epcot (if not managed to get Guardians earlier / switch park if so)
29 August 2022 Hollywood Studios
30 August 2022 Universal (Group VIP)
31 August 2022 Magic Kingdom
I'm hoping 3 HS days will give us the chance to get Rise either via ILL+ (we're off site) or queueing at day end. If so we might lose a HS day / switch it to a rest day or a different park. Similarly, I'm not sure we need 2.5 EPCOT days but we want to ride Guardians, so trying to maximise our chances there. I'm hoping the late August lower crowds + heat helps our chances and that Guardians helps subdue the demand for Rise. Do we need a second Animal Kingdom day?
Will MK days where there's a Not So Scary be quieter in the day? Suits us well on that first day as will be jet lagged anyway and one of our MK days we're going to NSS.
